Medtronic Jobs

Careers that Change Lives

At Medtronic, we contribute to human welfare and wellbeing through biomedical engineering. Everyday we’re involved in meaningful work to change people’s lives and health for the better. Now is your chance to join a talented team of engineers focused on providing the following services: a software API Gateway and data mesh; software development pipelines and frameworks; Kubernetes and container services and technologies; full-stack observability services; and global source code and binary code services to our research scientist, medical device manufacturing, regulatory, IT, marketing, and sales teams across our company.

In this role, you will play a critical part in designing, implementing, and optimizing our data architecture and data engineering needs relating to our API Gateway and data mesh service. Your responsibilities will focus in four areas where integration and interoperability with our API Gateway data mesh are most important: 1) interoperability with our data lake; 2) interoperability with some remaining independent data repositories in our business units; 3) interoperability with data used by our various product development teams across Medtronic who need to share and integrate their data from other parts of the business; and 4) interoperability with application-to-application communication through the Gateway. This role requires a deep understanding of both software and data engineering principles, as well as the ability to architect scalable and efficient data integration and interoperability solutions.
